The Mourning Meeting: Episode 14

Where The Grief Lived

Litsa Williams MA, LCSW-C is a co-founder of the grief community What’s Your Grief.  Litsa received her master's degree in social work from The University of Maryland and has a master’s in Philosophy for The University of Warwick (UK). Litsa has been working in the field of grief and loss for 12 years and previously worked in homeless services in Baltimore, MD.  Before founding What’s Your Grief, Litsa supported patients and families in the hospital at end of life in circumstances of unexpected death, and provided ongoing grief and bereavement support in the years following the loss as the director of family and community services for the Living Legacy Foundation of Maryland.  Feeling frustrated with the online and print materials that were available for grievers, she co-founded What’s Your Grief as a resource offering concrete, practical, creative, down-to-earth, and relatable grief support.  What’s Your Grief offers in-person support including workshops, trainings, and support groups and online support including hundreds of articles on all topics around grief and loss, a weekly podcast, and online courses.  She has been interviewed as a grief expert for NPR, Washington Post, US News, The New York Times, Huffington Post, and the BBC.

During this episode, Litsa talks about the death of her father when she was in college and the tension she felt being away from home and then going back home where the grief really lived.
